After he said "nope" the second time, i would've said "Let me speak to your manager".

It woulda sent a shiver down his spine. And I woulda said so much crap to the manager about that douchebag, get him fired.

Before i begin my story i must say i dont really look 18, i actually dont sound 18 either, but i am....A couple weeks ago i bought my 360. The PX didnt have a decent game on the shelf so i went to Wal-Mart instead. I asked the person in the electronic department to get me a few games from the case. Douche Bag:"which ones?" Me:"uhhh Gears of War and..." Douche Bag: "Nope.....anything else". I thought he was kidding. Me:"Hahah...yeah and Chromehounds...". He takes Chromehounds out of the case and makes his way to the register. Me:"Uhhh i need Gears of War also...". Douche Bag:"No", Me:"Why not", Him:"Because your not 18..." Me: Bull****", i show him my lisence. He looked at it for a minute and asked "How tall are you?". I dont rly keep track of how tall i am nor do i care. I said "im not sure, about 5' 6". He hands my lisence back and says "nope". My lisence says 5'8. Im sorta P.O'ed. My Gamestore is just across the street. So i go back to the car and tell my dad to take me there. He decides to go in and talk to the guy. My dad asks him if i showed and I.D and the guys says it could have been my brother and says i could'nt even answer a simple question, i showed him a 2nd form of I.D and he grabbed Gears out of the case and goes to the register. I handed the guy my debit card to pay he says "no, he has to pay for it" talking about my dad...My dad then asks "dont you have to be 18 to even have a debit card?" The guy says "nope". I finally ended up getting the game and even paying for it myself but it was very annoying and i dont think the guy was doing his job very well...i'm not sure i will purchase anymore games from there.Well thanks for reading my story ^.^
